evening /lit/izens. ive been wanting to start reading again. the last time i read a challenging and well written book was a few years ago in high school when i picked up bram stoker's dracula. is there anything you could recommend me just based on that? ive always heard good things about HP Lovecraft...

and yes, i know there is a sticky. but the list is massive, im not really sure where to start. thanks bros. pic unrelated

ok pic related, im guessing /lit/'s face when i didnt read the sticky.
funny, i actually read slaughterhouse 5 and the stranger in high school as well, required reading. somewhat enjoyable but not very exciting, i suppose. but ill look into the others, thanks for replying <3

Because /lit/ is filled with hipsters, duh.

Do people enjoy it?

It has no depth.
